Thanksgiving is a good time to reflect upon your life and think about what you are thankful for.

It's also a good time to eat a ridiculous amount of food and pass out on the couch with your pants unbuttoned, but that doesn't lead itself to a blog post quite as well.

So today we're going to look at what certain NHL players (and coaches, GMs and others) are thankful for.



Scott Hartnell: Fresh fingers with dipping sauce

Nicklas Lidstrom: His working testicle

Mike Richards: The fact that his leadership kept him from being suspended

David Booth: dsajc9d320dcnxcd320dxjkbn;ku/m,.h

Martin Brodeur: White Castle

Patrick Kane: Exact change

Marian Hossa: Wise decision making

Joe Thornton: Long summer vacations each year

Alex Ovechkin: Himself. And the Hart Trophy; clearly the only award that matters

Michel Therrien: Contracts with guaranteed money

Chris Osgood: Team defense

Mike Green: His own awesomeness and GreenLife52

Tony Granato: Evil master plans

Sean Avery: Sloppy second helpings

Montreal fans: It won't be the team's 100th anniversary for much longer

Craig Anderson: Confidence in the fact that no matter what else happens this season, he's already exceeded expectations

Bruce Boudreau: Five dollar foot longs

Ryan Malone: Getting hit in the face with a puck in 2008

Eric, Jordan, Marc and Jared Staal: The sod farm
